Bennett, R. S., Spurgeon, D. W., DeTar, W. R., Gerik, J. S., Hutmacher, R. B., and Hanson, B. D. 2011. Efficacy of four soil treatments against Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum race 4 on cotton. Plant Dis. 95:967-976. Fusarium wilt, caused by race 4 of Fusarium oxysporum f. sp. vasinfectum, is a critically important disease problem in California cotton (Pima, Gossypium barbadense; Upland, ...

Formae speciales (ff.spp.) of the fungus Fusarium oxysporum are often polyphyletic within the species complex, making it impossible to identify them on the basis of conserved genes. However, sequences that determine host-specific pathogenicity may be expected to be similar between strains within the same forma specialis. Whole genome sequencing was performed on strains from five different ff.sp...

Fusarium oxysporum is an asexual fungal species that includes human and animal pathogens and a diverse range of nonpathogens. Pathogenic and nonpathogenic strains of this species can be distinguished from each other with pathogenicity tests, but not with morphological analysis or sexual compatibility studies. Substantial genetic diversity among isolates has led to the realization that F. oxyspo...

PURPOSE Fungal ocular infections cause significant ocular morbidity, particularly when diagnosis and treatment are delayed. Accurate morphologic identification of Fusarium spp. beyond the genus is time-consuming and insensitive. It was the purpose of this study to examine the usefulness of the nuclear ribosomal RNA (rRNA) internal transcribed spacer regions (ITS1 and -2) to detect and different...

Thirty seven species of Fusarium were evaluated for their ability of producing extracellular enzymes using chromogenic medium containing substrates such as starch, cellobiose, CM-cellulose, xylan, and pectin. Among the tested species Fusarium mesoamericanum, F. graminearum, F. asiaticum, and F. acuminatum showed high β-glucosidase acitivity. Xylanase activity was strongly detected in F. prolife...

Breeding for disease resistance has been one of the most important research objectives in melon last few decades. Fusarium wilt caused by oxysporum f. sp. melonis (Fom) is among threatening fungal diseases along Mediterranean coast, affecting yield and quality. Since genetic best sustainable strategies that can be used to control this pathogen, 27 Tunisian accessions collected from local farmer...
